Overview of this book

If you're looking to work and experiment with powerful iOS 14 features such as widgets and App Clips to create your own apps, this iOS programming guide is for you. The book offers a comprehensive introduction for experienced programmers who are new to iOS, taking you through the entire process of learning the Swift language, writing your own apps, and publishing them on the App Store.

You added a new table view controller scene to represent the Restaurant Detail screen, configured a table view with static cells for this screen, and implemented a segue that will display this screen when a cell in the Restaurant List screen is tapped. You also added a button to one of the rows in the Restaurant Detail screen, added a table view controller scene to represent the Review Form screen, and configured the button you added to display it. Finally, you added a map view to the view controller scene for the Map screen, and it now displays a map when the Map button is tapped.
